Once again the Bear growls when fresh meat is placed in front of its nose. The question remains, is the mighty bear's bite worse than its growl? Bears only know how to growl. Cats purr. Bears are not cats. The way to keep a bear in check is to put garbage in the trash cans to let them feel mighty in smashing open the trash container to get to the meat. They feel they've earned it that way. And while they're busy smashing open the trash can or dumpster diving, they expose their backs to us. Don't give them anything on a silver platter because they would only see that as weakness and growl louder to try to scare you to drop the fresh meat and run for your life. And if you run, bears instinctively will chase you right up a tree and you'd be out on a far branch to get away, if you can. And it also helps to have a 30-06 pointed at its heart, just in case it turns on you when you stand your ground and refuse to cower and run like a scardy cat. If America is the mighty eagle, then let's buzz the bear's head to get its attention that we're not easy to bring down with our long wing span, great agility, sharp talons and sharp killing beak. Russia might be turning down a great deal... then let Israel deal with Iran and we can all sit back and watch them solve the Middle-East debacle in their own way without interfering. That would make the Rothschilds very happy.
